FYI: Baltimore County is twice the size of Onodaga County with 1 school district....1 and Northern Baltimore County which borders the state of Pennsylvania is a whole lot different than parts of Southen Baltimore County which is near BWI and some areas that are very industrial. No justifiable reason for 18 different school districts. Complete waste of taxpayer money.

I would like to see the number of teachers 10 years ago versus today. Now thats a number I want to see. The enrollments have been shrinking for years and yet people complain of teacher layoffs?? Taxes continue to go up??? Lets put 2 and 2 together and see where the numbers don't add up. Soon we will have just as many administrators in some of these districts as students. How is that going to be paid for? We have 18 school districts in 1 county..that is ridiculous.

Syracuse fans whine about everything...its amazing. You should be lucky you even have a team anymore with the pathetic fan base in CNY. I used to be a huge Syracuse football fan, grew up in Syracuse...but I just can't stand the complaining anymore. Do you realize that the best ticket to the Georgia-Auburn game on stubhub right now is $118 PER TICKET to sit in section 611, thats an upper deck higher than the Dome's upper deck and as of right now you can buy very good seats to the SU-WVU game for what...$28 bucks-unlike most places the Dome doesn't have bad seats??? You also get a chance to drink beer at the Dome, which 99% of schools don't even sell. Syracuse fans have no idea how good they have it. Wake up.

These laws are the most ridiculous thing going on. 99.9 % of hispanic people are here to work hard for a better life. They may be illegal, but they are taking jobs that white people will not do and thats a fact. This is only hurting our economy. This hispanic population is booming and is becoming a huge part of the economy now. Go ahead keep passing these stupid laws...A law like this would never pass in New York State. Never. If it ever did, New York City wouldn't exist. Not only do you have illegal hispanics in NY, you have illegal people from every country and walk of life you can think of in NYC. These laws are flat out racist and don't help our country one bit. Educate yourself about how the economy works before making stupid comments. Go ahead kick all the illegals out....I'd like to see how many white people sign up to clean hotels, clean houses, pick berries, pick apples, work in a chicken slauterhouse, carpet factory...etc,etc. LIke I said, 99.9% of hispanics come here for a better life, work hard and make a future for their families just like all our relatives did years ago. Ridiculous law.

This is a good start in cleaning up the mess that is the tailgating scene at SU. People take it to the extreme-there are far too many drunks that are wandering up to the Dome for games. I think it should be banned at the Dome as well. SU is one of the only schools that sells beer at their games and it should end. You want to tailgate...thats great, but it should end as soon as you walk on campus. Too many problems in and around the Dome. SU needs to clean itself up. It would be nice to take your kids to a game and not have to deal with drunks and low class people. Clean it up.

Every year....you hear the same song and dance.... If you don't raise money you will be hurting the kids, but do we ever hear the same thing about the overpaid teachers?? We can't cut teachers salaries or teachers pensions, but we can cut the programs for kids....brilliant. When is NY going to wake up?

I love how the teachers say if you don't pass the budget it will hurt the kids and yet they are the one's who are getting paid ridiculous pensions and salaries for working 8 months out of the year...and now....THEY ARE THE ONES HURTING THE KIDS. I hear about all this off the clock nonsense....right...you teachers are the only ones working off the clock. Teachers need to come back to reality. I work off the clock....YEAR ROUND!

This is why the NHL will always be a failure and second rate league. Lake of vision, lack of ownership support, etc, etc, etc.. If they would have spent a dime on the Thrashers they would have succeeded. Where is the vision in trying to grow the sport in a new market?? Hockey was building interest in the youth leagues in the Atlanta metro area...you can forget that now. Clueless leadership by the NHL. However, the city of Atlanta didn't exactly make great decisions either. You put an arena for Hockey in the northern suburbs and they would have been one of the attendance leaders.. Poor leadership, poor vision, poor planning. You have thousands of northerners relocating to the Atlanta area every year, the youth leagues were growing...the future was bright if the ownership had spent any money to put a winner on the ice.. Go back to Winnepeg, to an old former NHL city and basically retrench the sport...BRILLIANT!!

People can't move right now. There are no jobs to move to. The economy is so bad that a lot of people are not moving anywhere at the moment. When the economy starts to pick up people will start to move again. Its a fact. The only thing that's positive for the area is the bad economy. Its slowing down the exodus. You can bring all the immigrants you want for jobs at the mall, but anyone who can leave is going to once the economy picks up. Taxes, quality of life, jobs, weather, etc...are better in the south and west once the economy starts going again.

Finally....its called becoming more in line and more efficient. NY taxes are outrageous and it can't continue like this for the state to compete. The state can't afford to pay teachers living in Florida whol haven't worked in NY for 25 years. Its ridiculous. How many tax dollars are being sent out of state to fund teachers retirements??? Millions. Enough is enough and this is the start of cleaning up this mess. Cut salaries, cut teachers, cut pensions, cut public employees. Things have to start going back in line with reality. We have 20% UNDEREMPLOYMENT in this country and teachers & public employees need to realize that.

clueless...35,000 people where probably a few thousand came from out of town to spend money in Syracuse....nuckleheads. I don't care what it takes. When you get people to spend money in your town its a plus. The Dome should be taken full advantage off to bring all sorts of events to town. The University makes money, the city makes money, etc.. some people have no idea how economics works.

6 guards??? What conference does that?? Are you kidding me? Worst 1st team of any of the Big 6 conferences. Just plain stupid. Add Villanova in football, 6 guards on the 1st team all BE....just goes to show you how backwards this conference is.
